does nobody ever seen this issue??

The most logical way to do this would be using the "Twinview" feature of your cards.

More about that here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#TwinView

That means you should have: 2 Sections "Device", 2 Sections "Screen" and 4 Sections "Monitor". With the appropriate modifications of course.
